Stop the blame game and stop the BP oil leak

Is BP really to blame for the oil spill? Everyone is pointing finger. The authorities are blaming the CEO of BP and the CEO is pointing fingers at Transocean, the owner if the rig. I do not care whose fault it is, all I care about is that someone fix the problem. The latest news is that of the whistleblower. The whistleblower claims that BP cut corners, and dangerously so.

It’s hard to have a worse public image than Halliburton, the multinational engineering firm whose image took a beating during the first part of the Iraq War. But the company may well get slugged again over the Gulf accident, too. The latest accusation: The cement slurry Halliburton was pumping into the drill hole prior to the Horizon’s explosion may have in fact been at fault. Finally, the feds are being blamed for not enough federal oversight of oil drilling rigs and platforms in the Gulf.

What is more important is that this has been going on for three months, and more drastic measure needs to be considered in order to stop the spill, which has a drastic impact on all of us, including our fresh food items.

We should focus on coming together with all resources to stop it, not to play the blame game.
